The Number of Helldivers in Steam Increased Significantly After Helldivers 2 Release on Xbox

The release on Microsoft consoles was accompanied by a major update, including a collaboration with Halo.

The cooperative shooter Helldivers 2 from Arrowhead Game Studios is experiencing a new surge in popularity after its release on Xbox Series X|S, which took place on August 26.

According to SteamDB data, on August 26, the number of concurrent players in Steam reached 167,795 people - the highest since April 2024, when the game experienced a decline due to disputes surrounding the mandatory linking of accounts to PSN.

It is expected that the number of players will continue to grow in the coming weekend, as Steam statistics traditionally show peaks of activity on Saturday and Sunday.
